Whenever I plug my AC charger to my laptop, it doesn't charge. The light on the charger is on, and I made sure to push in all the plugs. I had my laptop and charger for about 4 years. So any suggestions.

I want to format my hardrive and reinstall a clean copy of XP - the drive was originally partitioned in two - one part was 60gig and the other 20gig........somehow when windows was installed it inadvertantly ended up in the 20gig section and i have never been able to find the missing 60gig, will this cause a problem when formatting??????? as i want the new installation to use the whole 80gig and no partitions.

I have an old Dell computer that came with windows 98 on it, but it was upgraded to xp before i even got it. i think it came with service pack 1.
will my service pack 2 install disc work?
Also, how do i format the hard drive without a software?

Now the drivers are a concern. It has external sound, video, and modem cards, but i only have the disc for the modem. Will XP detect my sound and video or am i in trouble?

The ear/mic sockets on my laptop are damaged. I have been told that there is a small apparatus/attachment that I can buy which will slot into my USB slot and can put my microphone and headphone into that apparatus/apparatus. Do you know the proper name of that particular apparatus/attachment so that I can do a search for it on google/ebay ?

I am fairly new to using a Mac as my main computer. I just started using one the past 5 months or so, it is a Mac OS X Version 10.4.8, and it has been fine so far. Lately though it has been running awfully slow, when I click to open my Word program for example, it honestly takes up to a minute for it to fully load....verrrry slow compared to the Dell laptop I used before. I had the Dell for over two years and it never got nearly as slow as my Mac. However, when the Dell would get a little slow, I would just do a quick disk cleanup or defragment and it would run a bit faster. Any suggestions?

Also, I hear that with Macs, you are less liable to get viruses and it is not highly recommended that you get an anti-virus software. Therefore, I do not have one, and others I know who do say they don't even need it, or so they think. It is suggested I get one?
